Spirits Move Me: Ghosts and Female Mediums in 19th-Century America
Hey listener! I'm currently on maternity leave, but to get us in the Halloween spirit, I'm re-releasing my first ever Halloween special about the 19th-century mediums who used their connection to the dead to find fame and fortune. But this isn’t just an old episode repeating: I’ve remastered and re-recorded it to give it a 2024 glow up.
The Exploress will be taking a break in November and December, but I’ll still be dropping new bonus episodes over on my Patreon during that time. So if you like the show and would like more of it, become a patron: they get 1 to 2 exclusive bonus episodes a month, and much more.

Down, down, the Witches' Road... I'm currently off on maternity leave, but to get you in the mood for the spooky season I'm re-releasing what must be my most popular Halloween special to date. Between 1450 and 1750, some 100,000 Europeans were tried for witchcraft, and some of the most intense periods of witchy panic took place in Scotland and England. Most, but not all, of these so-called witc...

    I have to say this men have know idea what it is like to actually give birth. I know they are doctors , but a rather have a woman giving birth and I did have a female doctor she already did give birth. I had a male to I definitely rather to have a female doctor again. I am just saying they don’t know what it feels life to be a female. His son didn’t only made it to 15 years old.

    Things weren’t just the Tudor Period. Same in the 50’s, I’d say even half of the 60’s. Looking at society today, is it better? Lots more violence towards women it seems. People are so angry! 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

    What I love all about this, is how the old-time ladies smack feminists in the mouth, everytime feminist try to get the little women on their side. I hear a feminist struggle in their speech patterns when talking about 19th century women. It puts such joy in my heart!😊 I personally believe, that the Little women would look their noses down upon feminist today. They would actually hate y'all! This is wonderful!😊 I've heard different podcasts with feminist stammering in their speech. They couldn't pin the Little women down. 19th century women are just better than modern-day females. Hey, you modern-day females made your lot in life. Now you have to accept it. 19th century women are just better than y'all! The more you talk about 19th century women, the more the little women keep smacking you in the mouth. That's a wonderful thing! Toodles!

    We would love to see Katherene as completely blameless. But she is not. Her last testament is highly unreliable, given it contradicts with all the other evidence and was her last chance to save herself. Was she the only one to blame? No. But was she faultless, heck no. This video is an example of someone (most likely an idealist gen z) subjectively applying postmodern values to past history, which is highly problematic. It isn't even very well researched.
